COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions for a Chicago Personal Injury Lawyer
Does it cost anything to talk to a Chicago personal injury lawyer?
No. Consultations at Mixan Mahony, LLC are free, and there is no attorney fee unless we recover for you. How case costs and expenses are handled is explained in writing in our fee agreement before any work begins.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois?
Most Illinois personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under 735 ILCS 5/13-202, and wrongful death claims generally within two years of the death under 740 ILCS 180/2. Claims against public entities and medical malpractice claims have their own rules and deadlines, so speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Often, yes. Under 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, an injured person is barred only if found more than 50% at fault. Otherwise, damages are reduced by that person’s share of fault, and 735 ILCS 5/2-1117 governs how responsibility is divided among multiple defendants.
Who will actually handle my case?
Clients work directly with the lawyers responsible for their cases. Partners Colleen Mixan Mikaitis and Mackenzie J. Mahony are personally involved in the firm’s cases.
Where does Mixan Mahony, LLC handle cases?

What should I do after a serious injury?
Get medical care first. Then, if you can, report the incident, take photos, collect witness names, keep damaged property, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer. Call (312) 262-3971 for a free consultation.
